- Maria Pinto, the Chicago-based designer whose trunk shows have played annually to standing room only crowds at Dream Weaver on St. Armands Circle and will do so on January 22 and 23 -- right after the inauguration. What timing! Michelle Obama wore Pinto's clothes way before the campaign began, and Pinto may well be in the running. Dream Weaver's founder Joan McKeon says the collection is a hit in Sarasota because it's the essence of urban chic. "Our customers get it [urban chic]: they're sophisticated women who travel - we don't sell to kids," McKeon explained.

About Wearable Art
Also known as Artwear or "art to wear"
:See also art jewelry.
Wearable art, also known as Artwear or "art to wear", refers to individually designed pieces of (usually) hand-made clothing or jewelry created as fine or expressive art. While the making of any article of clothing or other wearable object typically involves aesthetic considerations, the term wearable art implies that the work is intended to be accepted as a serious and unique artistic creation or statement. Pieces may be sold and/or exhibited. The modern idea of wearable art seems to have surfaced more than once in various forms. Marbeth Schon's book on modernist jewelry (see the section on jewelry below) refers to a "wearable art movement" spanning roughly the years 1930 to 1960. A 2003 New York Times review of a book on knitting refers to "the 60s Art to Wear movement". [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F02E3DD143CF937A35756C0A9659C8B63&&scp=1&sq=%22art%20to%20wear%20movement%22&st=cse]
Most wearable art is made of fibrous materials and constitutes therefore a branch of the wider field of fiber art, which includes both wearable and non-wearable forms of art using fabric and other fiber products. Wearable art as an artistic domain can also of course include jewelry, or clothing made from non-fiber materials such as leather, plastic sheeting, metals, etc.

- I may dress like a penguin for Sarasota's more formal occasions but an artful tie redeems my conformity. I wore a vintage Nicole Miller necktie to the recent opening of La traviata at Sarasota Opera. Friends commented that it was just the ticket for the evening!
